Versus

Originally established as Vivalasuerte, the online betting site was renamed Versus in 2019. The long-established bookmaker from New Zealand appears as a regular sponsor in the Spanish football industry. Its many physical premises have played a crucial role in the development of its business. This is a real strength of Versus, as the brand has managed to draw on and build up a solid experience in both sports betting and gambling at the same time.

Operating License

Versus is owned by Versus Online SA, a company based in Spain. The establishment is licensed by the Spanish Gaming Regulatory Authority (DGOJ). Currently, the web operates under a license that is only valid for sports betting. In addition, Versus has all the necessary approvals to operate legally in New Zealand. The documents are also granted by the same commission. This clearly demonstrates the reliability of the bookmaker. The bookmaker is able to attest that it really is a trustworthy gambling platform.

Mobile application

The mobile application developed by Versus guarantees compatibility with Android and iOS operating systems. The program is extremely smooth and fast and offers many advantages. These include the ability to bet on a wide variety of sports competitions, as well as access to the full range of services. Bettors can log in, make financial transactions, check account details, view betting history and more.

The mobile version of the site automatically adapts to any screen format. Whether on a smartphone or a tablet, everything has been fully optimized to replicate desktop-like functionality. When betting on the move, the player will have the opportunity to follow live events, place bets and many other opportunities. As there is no executable software for the casino, Versus has specifically dedicated this area to cater for gambling fans. Moreover, the presence of intuitive menus and control buttons makes navigation more convenient.

Registration process

Creating an account with Versus only takes a few minutes. The first step is to go to the official website of the bookmaker.

Bonuses and promotions
